Original Edition

This red robin was keen to interact probably in the hope that I had something for him to eat due to the very cold weather. Consequently I could get quite close to him and with a little patience I positioned myself near the tree stump and checked my background ready for him to settle. Eventually he landed there and I could get some good closeup shots with my 200mm lens.

Whilst there had been a large amount of snowfall and there was plenty on the branches and on the ground I decided to add the snowflakes myself later in the editing process to give the final image a distinctly cold and Christmas feel resulting in this classic British winter scene.
